Abstract

In this study, we propose a reliable algorithm to develop an analytical solution for the problem of laminar steady magnetohydrodymanics (MHD) nanofluid flow in a semi-permeable channel using the differential transformation method (DTM). The working fluid is water with copper nanoparticles. The effects of Hartmann number and Reynolds number on velocity profiles have been also considered for various numerical cases. The effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid are calculated by the Maxwell and Brinkman models, respectively. A close agreement between the obtained solution and some well-known results has been established.
